The silence, often attributed to cowardice, is really complicity. As I’ve noted, racial resentment has become the primary driver and predictor of support for the Republican Party, a trend that has accelerated under Trump. If Republican lawmakers continue to “fret privately” as Trump bases his reelection on clumsy racist demagoguery, they must be held to account for condoning the redefinition of the GOP as the new home of the white power movement. Their silence isn’t just enabling Trump; it’s also enabling white supremacy to hijack a major American political party. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/06/silent-republican-lawmakers-are-handmaidens-white-supremacy/

Kushner's fam got 3 PPP loans. Devin Nunes winery got a PPP loan Sounds totally legit, right? Definitely legit, and definitely not socialism. It’s only socialism when others get it.

SEN. TAMMY DUCKWORTH (D-IL): Well, let me just say that we should start off by having a national dialogue on it, at some point. But right now, we're in the middle of a global pandemic. And our — one of our ally — one of our — countries that are opposed to us, Russia, has put a bounty on American troops' heads.
What really struck me about this speech that the president gave at Mount Rushmore was that he spent more time worried about honoring dead Confederates than he did talking about the lives of our American — 130,000 Americans who lost their lives to COVID-19, or by warning Russia off of the bounty they're putting on Americans' heads.
I mean, his priorities are all wrong here. He should be talking about what we're going to do to overcome this pandemic. What are we going to do to push Russia back? And, instead, he had no time for that. He spent all his time talking about dead traitors.

Paging Senator Tim Scott. . . but that tenuous grasp on power is just too enticing, isn't it?

Tucker's not terribly sympathetic w/the language he's using, but there was a better way for her to answer that question.

I don't think her saying we should start with "a national dialogue on it, at some point" and then pivoting to more pressing issues warranted him saying she doesn't love her country. She sacrificed parts of her body for her country, what has Tucker done?

Takes a lot of gall to call a double amputee Purple Heart recipient a "coward."
Interesting that there's 2024 speculation on Tucker if Trump loses. Seems like he will be another high-quality individual in the mold of Trump and Don jr. should he choose to.

Too little, too late for these GOP cowards??? All the complicit GOP cowards own part of the 130,000+ dead Americans through Trump's incompetence and inaction. In his most recent television ad, Colorado’s Cory Gardner cheerfully touts an outdoor conservation bill he recently wrote. Arizona’s Martha McSally denounces “communist China” in her 30-second clips. And North Carolina’s Thom Tillis showcases his humble roots in a trailer park as he vows to protect jobs for American workers. Missing from the spate of ads: President Trump. Trump’s sagging popularity is one of several challenges confronting Senate Republicans as they face a dire outlook in their bid to retain the majority this fall. Forecasts by nonpartisan analysts have shifted several campaigns in Democrats’ favor, with states previously considered in a lower tier of competitive races now showing up on the national political radar. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-who-senate-gop-candidates-in-tight-races-avoid-any-mention-of-the-president-in-campaign-ads/2020/07/08/47699e60-c148-11ea-864a-0dd31b9d6917_story.html

Is poor widdle Lindsey Graham headed to his fainting couch after this attack on him by Trump? Ha ha ha ha. President Donald Trump took a swing at Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday in the aftermath of two Supreme Court decisions involving his closely held financial records, lamenting that the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman and close Trump ally was not doing enough to target the president’s political foes. www.politico.com/news/2020/07/09/trump-attacks-lindsey-graham-supreme-court-355013

Oh, I'm just stunned that the top writer for Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour is a racist. Shocking...
Must be really bad luck that this keeps happening to him.

Since there are folks here still supporting Trump, please explain how you reconcile the commutation of Roger Stone's sentence. And, how you'll continue to support such a corrupt president in the aftermath. I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Or, they've suddenly found compassion for vulnerable inmates. All such a crock. I get that people like more money in their pockets. At what real cost?

And, how you'll continue to support such a corrupt president in the aftermath. I'd appreciate it. Thanks! You won't get a response. Cultists never explain - it's merely a matter of belief in their cult leader. A Pew Research poll last month found that by nearly two to one, Republicans are finding it harder to identify “what is true and what is false about the outbreak.” A similar proportion of Republicans — 48 percent — found it definitely or probably true that “powerful people planned the coronavirus outbreak,” while 57 percent believed deaths had been intentionally overstated. Why the confusion? Seventy-five percent of Republicans believed the White House presents accurate information. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/10/trumps-gop-is-becoming-garish-opera-paranoia/
